&lt;Course name&gt; &lt;Lesson number&gt; - Creating an AD Administration defaults File To create a defaults file, specify defaultsfile= &lt;filename&gt; at the AD Administration command line. The defaults file must be located under APPL_TOP/admin/&lt;SID&gt;. For example, type: $ adadmin defaultsfile=APPL_TOP/admin/&lt;SID&gt;/defs.txt Next, run AD Administration for the task that you want to run non-interactively in the future, for example, “Validate APPS schema(s).” Once you complete the task, verify that AD Administration created the defaults file. Now you are ready to use the non-interactive mode of AD Administration.

&lt;Course name&gt; &lt;Lesson number&gt; - Running AD Administration in Non-interactive Mode The non-interactive mode of AD Administration is a feature that is present in R12. This feature allows the administrator to schedule AD Administration to run routine tasks. To allow AD Administration to run in non-interactive mode, you must first perform the maintenance task in interactive mode and create a defaults file in the process. Once you create a defaults file for a maintenance task, you can perform the task in non-interactive mode by using this defaults file.

&lt;Course name&gt; &lt;Lesson number&gt; - Running AD Administration in Non-Interactive Mode This command causes AD Administration to use the defaults file called adadmindef.txt; write to a log file called adadmin_noninteractive.log; use 5 workers for the tasks running in parallel; and run in non-interactive mode.

&lt;Course name&gt; &lt;Lesson number&gt; - Menu Options - Specifying a Menu Option in the AD Administration Defaults File A single defaults file can be used to run different AD Administration tasks — a single file can contain all your choices for the different menu options. In order to choose which task the defaults file will run, you add menu_option= &lt;menu choice&gt; to the utility start command. This overrides any menu-specific key stroke information stored in the defaults file initially, and allows you to use the defaults file for any of the AD Administration menu items. It also ensures that the menu option you intended for the defaults file is always valid, even if the menu items are renumbered or relocated in subsequent releases. Note: adalldefaults.txt (located in APPL_TOP/admin) can be used with the menu options.

&lt;Course name&gt; &lt;Lesson number&gt; - Maintenance Mode Maintenance mode affects the process of maintaining Oracle Applications and must be enabled to optimize performance and reduce downtime of AutoPatch sessions. You toggle maintenance mode from enabled to disabled by using the Change Maintenance Mode menu of AD Administration Before you initiate an AutoPatch session, you need to shut down the Workflow Business Events System and set up function security so that no Oracle Applications functions are available to users. This ensures optimal performance and reduces downtime when applying a patch. Maintenance Mode (which was added in 11.5.10) , provides a clear separation between normal runtime operation of Oracle Applications and system downtime for maintenance. During a maintenance mode downtime, user login is restricted. Users are redirected to a system downtime URL, which informs them that the maintenance session is in progress. The Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) Maintenance Mode page allows you to schedule system downtime and send alert messages to notify users of the downtime schedule.

&lt;Course name&gt; &lt;Lesson number&gt; - Change Maintenance Mode The status of maintenance mode is displayed at the top of the Change Maintenance Mode menu. Use this menu to enable or disable maintenance mode.
